CROTON, N.Y. – Teachers serving the Croton-Harmon School District are devising new ways to incorporate interactive digital technology into the classroom.

“Our students need to be totally comfortable with computers,” said Deborah August, the district’s technology coordinator. "Computers are here to stay.”

During a technology expo for district faculty at Croton-Harmon High School, teacher Ashley Valentine led her “Cell Phones in the Classroom” workshop. It showcased applications that allow students to answer questions remotely using their phones, with answers appearing at a central location such as a SMART Board, which is an interactive chalkboard.
